I didn't know baby oil could be a great blender for color pencils. When I saw this on the internet, of course I have to try it out.

---

So first I sketched out a character here.

---

But first I'm gonna do the hair. So I darken the lines of the hair with a unipin.

---

I started with this part. I used a red brown and red for the hair.

---

Then I used a que tip with a bit of baby oil and gently smudge the colors to blend it.

---

I think it blended well but it's kinda hard to control

---

I just did the same for the rest of the hair. I used red for the base color of the hair and red brown for the darker parts.

---

Then I blended it all

Look how it was blended. I think I got a great result here

---

Then darken the eyes using a Unipin as well

---

Coloring the skin. I used a light beige for the 1st layer of the shadowed areas.

---

Then I added the second layer of light brown to darken it.

---

I used two colors for the rest of the skin. I blended beige and a lighter beige.

---

Again I will use the babyoil to blend all of the colors

---

I used the same color for the eyes as well

---

I used a white gel pen to clean up the mess. XD

---

I colored his shirt black and I also used the same method here

---

So here it is. I think you can make it easier to color your drawing using this method. Just don't used a thin paper to avoid it to bleed out. I think it would be great if you would use a smooth paper and wax based colored pencils.
